Yiatin Chu knows what matters to New Yorkers: a safe, clean and affordable city, high quality education & safe schools for children, and upholding quality of life in our neighborhoods. In 2023, Yiatin was honored as one of 49 “The Most Powerful People You Never Heard Of” by New York Magazine for her grassroot accomplishments, and has been an invited guest on Fox & Friends, Varney, CBS, Fox5 and regularly quoted in local press.
Yiatin is running for NY State Senate 11 because progressive policies like bail reform and sanctuary city are working against our local communities and quality of life. New York needs effective policies that don’t come at the expense of safe and clean neighborhoods. Yiatin immigrated to Queens, NY when she was 8. She graduated from the Bronx High School of Science, and holds a BA in Economics from SUNY-Binghamton and an MBA from Boston University. Yiatin had a successful marketing career in healthcare and media. She lives in Whitestone with her husband and two daughters.
